North Carolina District Achieves EOG Results With Lexia Core5

A large suburban school district in North Carolina turned to Lexia® Core5® Reading to provide accessible reading interventions. The district’s use of the science of reading-based program yielded positive End-of-Grade (EOG) Reading results.

Core5 is a research-proven program that accelerates the development of literacy skills for all pre-K–5 students, including multilingual learners and students with dyslexia or dyscalculia. Core5 helps students make the critical shift from learning to read to reading to learn.

This case study highlights the North Carolina district's EOG Reading results after using Core5 during 2022–2023. Among 3,127 students in grades 3–5:

• 52% of students who reached their end-of-year, grade-level benchmark in Core5 also passed their EOG Reading Tests.

• .65 was the correlation between EOG Reading scores and the Core5 end level, well above the .35 mark that indicates a strong correlation.

“All the work we’ve done with [Lexia®] LETRS® also ties in with Core5,” said Jason Griffin, executive director of Elementary and Federal Programs, Craven County School District, North Carolina. “... Teachers see all the connections. Lexia has done a really good job, specifically Core5, with the correlation of all the different skills and how that ties into LETRS.”
